Review of The Borgias

The Borgias (2011–2013)
10/10
So good it's stunning!
6 March 2020
Borgias is a superb series; of those which are made less and less nowadays with an equal quality.

  • The cast is brilliant. I mean diamond-like brilliant. Jeremy Irons is so good that sometimes, I think the guy is from another world and on a whole other level of acting; he brings his personal never-ending charisma and professionalism to the show; his chemistry with his children and back are one of the main forces behind the series success. Francois Arnaud is beautiful, has menacing charisma and the right choice for the character. Holliday Grainger shines with her beauty, artful wittiness and charismatic magnetism. She is like a lollipop that never ends and that you can never get enough of. The supporting cast do a marvelous job and are perfectly synch with the main cast.
  • The script and storyline are captivating, intriguing, unfold well with equally good character development.
  • The cinematography, sceneries, costumes and actions are superb, never repetitive or boring and work hand in hand with the play of the cast.


The ending of the series in 3 seasons was a bit rushed and a 4th one would have been welcomed, providing viewers with more detailed story and plots, increasing the quality of the show with definitely more polished varnish.

Overall, a superb and satisfying journey throughout that I will never forget and that I will always recommend with warm enthusiasm.
